I have been going here since 1993, but went last night for the first time in years and I was reminded of why it is my favorite music venue in the city. The acoustics are fantastic, it is intimate, and the bands are always top notch. Last night was their 100% free music night and it did not disappoint. Schubas is always on the cutting edge of rock a d I have seen many bands here before they become big. I have a feeling last night was one of those nights
The band "Rookie" played and they were amazing! In addition to the music Schubad has a great beer list and the bar is one of the few remaining original Schlitz tap rooms (you can tell from the Sclitz globe in the brick work over the front door. This is one of the classic neighborhood bars that is quintessential Chicago. I haven't been to the new upscale restaurant they just opened that is attached to Schubas, but I have heard great things and plan to check it out very soon.
